Title: Connector Mess
Post by: Shurion on September 05, 2023, 08:24:52 AM
Im making a server room topology, i've connected multiple devices at multiple racks. The problem is connectors are looking way too confusing, does anyone have a way to overcome this issue ?

That's indeed where craftsmanship is required.

Some tricks:
- use colors
- use connectors with radii. It makes it easier to the eye to follow the line
- use port labels

Isn't it the plural of radius?


Radiuses if you prefer ;)

Using colors and radii makes a lot of sense thx very much, but port labels doesnt look very possible in my case.

It depends also of course on the desired output format.
Printer - with and without color
Digital - with interactivity, either in Visio or in HTML. Nikolay has written some nice tools that do that. https://nbelyh.github.io/svgpublishdemo/demo/1981-91%20Suzuki%20FA50%20Shuttle.html
